"Princess" had a nice session this afternoon which consisted of learning how to halter and her first leading session which was very fun as you can tell. But she soon found out I'm a little stronger than I look and I'm not letting go no matter how much you twist and turn🤣. Maybe she will turn into her name lol, but shes not acting super princess like right now.
You guys...I finally did it!!! I sat on chief for the first time! I'm so proud and excited, its just so amazing! This was his 5th time with a saddle on and he did so amazing, looked for me for guidance in everything with not even offering any freak out or stressed out moments! You can see at the end he put his head down and relaxed and I got off to release that pressure and let him have a positive experience with it. I practiced getting on him multiple times today and he did great. This guy has been SOO challenging for me and those first couple months I really doubted if he would ever be rideable(he just made me work for his trust and didnt seem to like me😅) . As you can see he definitely has a promising future! Crazy how these older mustangs can come around to trust a human so much after being wild so long💙💙
Taught my client horse Roscoe a little something to make mounting easier for his rider🤩. I like to teach all of my horses this, so that it eliminates the frustration of trying to line your horse up to a mounting block to get on and ride. I used the rope to give a bigger signal to him because he was distracted, but he listened very well!!💙
